As its name indicates, this beer is not one for snacks or meals but instead goes down like a peach at dessert to which it is perfectly suited. Black as the night with few clouds in sight, this Imperial Stout gives off sweet scents of malt, chocolate, vanilla, roasted caramel and cake. Chocolate, roasted cocoa, vanilla and cake blend into a sweet and lasting flavour tinged with drops of bitterness and wrapped in creamy succulence. So good it counts as a dessert in a bottle!

330ml bottle. Jet black colour with late awakening, small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Roasty, dark malty aroma, notes of coffee, dark chocolate, whiffs of vanilla. Taste is sweet-ish, roasty dark malty, notes of dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla, whiffs of strawberry; perfectly hidden alcohol. Watery texture, smooth and soft palate, fine, soft carbonation. Rather light body, surprisingly drinkable, too much vanilla for my personal liking.

33cl bottle from Abeervinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark plum, practically black, with limited brown foam. Aroma is delicate of chocolate, burnt, caramel. Body is fairly dense, with limited carbonation. Taste is medium-high sweet in the very beginning, with a nice burnt feeling afterwards. Final is fairly long and burnt.

330ml can. Pours an opaque black with a medium, creamy, short lived, tan head that fully dissipates. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate, vanilla, caramel, tobacco and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, vanilla, dark chocolate, caramel, licorice, molasses, tobacco and light alcohol in a dry, mild bitter coffee finish. Medium to full body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Very sweet, definitely a dessert beer. Nice to sip on.

Really solid thick oily full stout, not too pastry-like, just the right amount of sweetness. Full bodied, roast to balance it all with the right amount of hop bitterness. 2019 mikkeller beer advent cal

Review based on the BJCP2015 guidelines (style 30A/16B). Can 33 cl - Batch 29071910 (BBF 29/07/22). AROMA: initial low metallic note, followed by medium-high cocoa and vanilla. faint nuttiness that vanishes. overall sweet aroma. APPEARANCE: very dark brown to black color and opaque. medium brown head, creamy, with average retention. lace formation. TASTE: medium-high chocolate, vanilla , slight nuttiness and peppery alcohol. very faint roasted malt with coffee-like notes. low bitterness with a sweet finish that evolves into a less sweet palate. unbalanced. PALATE: full body with medium-low carbonation. OVERALL: liquid chocolate in a can and thats it.

On tap @Mikkeller Warsaw. Coffee bean/black pour with a light brownish foam. Nose: coffe-chocolate, hazelnut cream, dark roast coffee beans. Beautiful. Mouth: finally a non articola pastry Stout, hazelnut skin, fresh nuts, dark chocolate, mild sugar overall with a slight bitter coffee finish. A great brew.

Tap at Mikkeller Tokyo. Initial chocolate and sweetness, little touch of spice, maybe cinnamon. Flat cola smell, but for some reason that's quite nice. Pretty rich. Caramel and toffee, little bitterness there too. Very drinkable for the strength. I like it. Towards the finish it gets a bit fruitier but keeps the caramel sweetness too. Nice.

Roasted flavour with ash, oak, coffee, roasted malt, caramel, dark chocolate and vanilla. Has a silky mouth feel, full-bodied and a light to medium bitterness. Rich, roasted and tasteful.
